What in-home ABA therapy is
In-home ABA therapy means applied behavior analysis delivered where your child lives. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) writes the plan and oversees it. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) carries it out in your living room, kitchen or yard. Because teaching happens during real moments, such as getting dressed or a sibling grabbing a toy, the skills stay useful when the therapist leaves.
Inside an in-home ABA therapy session
Check-in
Your therapist asks how the days since the last visit went and chooses one or two targets for today.
Teaching through play and routine
Your child practices asking for a snack, taking turns in a game or using a calming strategy when a change is hard.
Data
Your therapist notes how your child responds to each target. If progress stalls, the BCBA adjusts the plan right away.
Something to try
You get one or two small things to practice at meals, bath time or bedtime before the next visit.

In-Home ABA Therapy in Aurora: local things to know
Medicaid can pay for ABA at home without a diagnosis
Health First Colorado covers behavioral therapy, ABA included, for members under 21 when it is medically necessary. The state says you do not need an autism diagnosis to qualify. Each round of therapy needs prior authorization, which can last up to 6 months.
Income a little too high for Medicaid?
The Children’s Buy-In Program lets some higher-income families enroll a child with a disability in Health First Colorado. That coverage can include ABA.
Employer plans: find out if yours is “fully insured”
Colorado’s autism coverage law applies to state-regulated plans. Self-funded employer plans follow federal rules instead. Ask your HR department which kind you have before you count on coverage.
The CES waiver can add respite
The Children’s Extensive Support waiver can add services such as respite care for children under 18 with high support needs. You apply through your county’s Case Management Agency.
